This past week on the Raw Bar

  Brad Winnekins of Legacy Services

The WSJ's recent article LTC has the industry chatting. Listen in as LTC-guru Winnekins walks us through the coverage sharing his insights and analysis along the way. Unlike some of his colleagues he still adheres to the old line about how there is no such thing as bad press.

 Steve Melek of Milliman

Lawmakers are wrestling over mental health parity. The debate is how much license to give insurance companies and others to define what exactly constitutes a mental health issue. Listen in as Milliman's Melek frames the issue and shares his insight on the subject.

Lori Dustin of Highroads

Vendor management is core focus for Highroads. It's an issue that should resonate with every employer and benefits adviser, yet it's often given short shrift. Listen in as Dustin details why that's a foolish approach as well as how employers and their advisers can begin to better grasp vendor management.

And don't forget to listen to the latest installment of the "The Burning Question" with Managing Editor Molly Bernhart.
